Getting a Gary Fisher Hoo Kee Koo Ready for College! | Bike Prep & Maintenance

This Gary Fisher Hoo Kee Koo is getting ready for a new adventure — college! In this video, I get this bike ready for campus life by replacing the tires, converting one wheel from a Presta valve to a Schrader valve, and lubricating the cables to help protect against the elements and keep everything working smoothly. The goal is simple: make sure this bike is dependable, ready to ride, and prepared for whatever college life throws at it. Whether you're repairing an casual bike, maintaining a bike that's been sitting in storage, or simply interested in classic bicycle mechanics, this step-by-step project provides helpful tips and techniques you can use on your own bike.
